I need help with a cookie recipe!
I made these cookies, using the recipe below (from the Dr. Oz show). Because I couldn't find brown rice syrup, I substituted barley syrup. The texture of the cookies is okay, but they aren't sweet enough (for my kids to eat them), so I'm going to try it again using a different sweetener. Any suggestions on a substitution? I was thinking maybe honey & molasses to replace the syrup. I'm trying to avoid refined sugar, and I don't like using fake sugars like Splenda.
Recipe
Heart Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned, NOT instant)
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup tahini
4 tbsps butter substitute
1 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 large egg
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup 60% cacao dark chocolate chips
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a bowl. In a mixer bowl, beat tahini and butter substitute until smooth. Add brown rice syrup and beat on low speed until well blended. At low speed, beat in egg and vanilla just until blended. With a spatula, fold in walnuts, chocolate chips and cranberries until blended. Drop a tablespoon of dough onto baking sheet. Flatten dough slightly with fingertip. Place dough 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-11 minutes to light golden brown. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing.
